This program will take on a broadly based study of Shakespeare's work, his times, and his meaning in modern culture. We will devote time to reading and discussing his work, to training our voices to speak Elizabethan verse, to critically analyzing dramatic interpretations of Shakespeare, and to presenting our own unique performances.

Listed below are the minimal standards for credit in the program. We assume that students understand that they are responsible for their learning and will therefore aim high and set personal standards that stretch their intellectual potential.

All students and faculty in this program will:

• Take active responsibility for our actions and learning;
• Articulate and assume responsibility for our own work;
• Abide by the principles of the social contract, student conduct code and faculty code;
• Submit self and faculty evaluations in a timely manner;
• Demonstrate integrative, independent and critical thinking;
• Follow through on commitments made to others in team work situations;
• Participate in discussions and class activities;
• Reflect on the learning through writing and dialogue; and
• Resolve conflict in a direct and timely manner.

The minimum basis for awarding credit in this program is:

• Submission of all assignments;
• Full and regular attendance
• Active participation in all program activities
• Attendance at an evaluation conference; and
• Completion of a self and faculty evaluation.

Credit equivalencies for the quarter will be:

2 qh Writing 3 qh Interpretation of Dramatic Literature 3 qh Communications
